Delve builds for priest

Looking for a good build to solo delves with. My priest has the hardest time BY FAR doing them alone. I mind control every pack and skip as much as I can, and also fade for Brann to take aggro for a bit, but am still incredibly squishy. Anyone have a good build they use for delves? I love running them solo but priest is rough. I’m not opposed to playing disc if that makes them easier but longer, I already run them as a blood DK and they’re cake.

I feel like Ultimate Penitence Disc Priest with DPS Brann is the easiest. It’s definitely gonna take longer though.

If you’re running as shadow, Brann should be in healer mode. Those potions help out a lot; you just have to get used to running over them as needed.

I felt it pretty rough early on in the season though too, especially bosses. Brann still wasn’t that leveled, gear was weak, and I’d end up getting chewed through by big channeled aoe abilities some bosses use. But as Brann’s potions and I both got stronger it slowly got more manageable.

I use wowhead’s delve build with some modifications. I’m geared enough now that I don’t really need to use the modifications much but they helped a lot in the beginning.

I take Void Tendril’s instead of Leap of Faith. It makes melee packs much easier.

I take Power Word: Life instead of Essence Devourer for the extra emergency heal.

On the Archon tree, I use Incessant Screams instead of Shock Pulse. I frequently get two interrupts out of it.

I was able to do t8 delves on my disc priest when I was very, very undergeared. Take Dominate Mind so that you can mostly pull 1 enemy at a time and have another helper to kill enemies, and use Fade on cooldown so that Brann has the aggro. It did take a while to get through, and I would sometimes get hit by a swirly or frontal on a final boss and get 1 shot, but otherwise, was able to get through most of them without much trouble and geared up pretty quick.

If you’re Holy, I’d suggest taking the right stuff that helps with damage along with the stun in the spec tree.

Oracle specced into Power Word: Life is good as an emergency heal on top of Smite, Holy Fire, and Holy Nova dealing 25% more damage. Archon isn’t so bad either for AE purposes on top of 5% Fort for more HP. Dominate Mind also helps a lot in higher levels.

In the general tree take the stuff that helps with Fade, removal of snares, less CDs, etc.

this may help you…
I got shock as well but the build is good I think.

Embrace the void, go Shadow… all I’m going to say lol
